Last week we had some nice warm or I should say hot days for the end of September. What bliss it is to be warm and soak in the sun and have the windows open...well I guess you better close those windows, least you have a stink bug invasion, as some folks have had aaaannnddd I guess it is not soooo much fun being so hot it is hard to cool off. BUT wasn't it better then the cold we are having right now?
As October has rolled in, it has brought some unwanted company in the form of cold days with it. I am not ready to turn on the heat or have a fire in the wood stove yet. Although I do love to be warm and cozy when it is cold outside, it is glorious. I am still trying to recover from the cold we experienced last winter, it was COLD. So cold it was hard to be warm and cozy, unless you wanted to have an extremely high electric bill, because your heat was working so hard to keep it warm inside it never turned off. Fortunatly, we have a wood stove so most of our house was heated with good old fashioned wood. Don't get me wrong I am a fan of snow, it was not the snow that bothered me, no not in the least, more so the fidgeted cold temperatures we had and I want to soak in the warm sun as much as I can. Much like Frederick the field mouse did while the other mice were gathering their stores for winter in this book by Leo Lionni.
Anyway here is wishing for warmer weather already in the beginning of fall...it is going to be a long winter...
So to warm you up remember those days last week when we could wear shorts and t-shirts? What could be more fun to a two year old boy than digging when it is nice and warm outside and you don't have to wear gloves (okay, I guess it is not that cold yet!)...
